Annotation
Interprets Hemingway’s use of the word gypsy as a recognition of both popular Western stereotypes of the Spanish Romani people and a symbol of idiosyncratic qualities within Robert, which produce inner conflicts about prejudice, individual freedom, and social responsibility. Murad contends that the “perpetual communicative and interpretive distance” experienced in the novel is created by Rafael and Pilar’s “being gypsy.”
